    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. True, though it does not tell us when these 500 witnesse saw Him at once; there is the likelyhood that this large group witnessed His ascension. Since He...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    Do not distort what I said and communicated. The Word that came from GOD is pure. In translating the original Greek, errors were made. My argument was, that you did not understand, was in support of its reliabliity. Tha even the occasional misspelled words or flip flop phrases that occur...

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    Over 500 witnessed His ascension up and into the clouds. His return will be visually the same as he left. This is how every eye will see Him, tens of thousands who are in Jerusalem but then broadcast world wide for all to see. This Kingdom rule happens at the 7th Trumpet ( Rev. 11:15-19). Many...

    What Does 'Surely Die' Mean?

    All of the above are true. What did we inherit from Adam? Sin and death. The wages of sin is death. What happened to them immediately? Both spiritual and physical death. Their spiritual innocence, nature, relationship with God was cut and changed. Though they did not immediately die, their cells...

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    No, I am not. Jesus resurrected body was spiritual, yet he stood there a d said touch me. It was also_ upon his will_ physical. He ate food. Our flesh is more than just physical, for sin dwells on it. So when we are changed, we no longer have "sarx". I think you have been mixing other types of...

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    He was talking to the Thessalonians about a future event and the message is for all. Most of what Paul taught in all the epistles was for all. Literal hermeneutics assumes that normal language has a literal meaning unless the text clearly signals a symbol. Figurative language, such as...

    Can the Bible contain mistakes?

    Scholars, by using textual criticism generally estimate the accuracy to be around 99.5% to 99.9%, stating that variations are minor spelling, word order, or other trivial errors, not affecting core theology. Ruth Graham once said she had about 20 versions of the Bible and they all said the same...

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    You force symbolic interpretations on His Second Coming _ when everyone eye will see Him, so I gave you a direct supportive and definitive scripture to that event, Acts 1:9-11. I just expected you symboloze that too. This is the event the angels referred to and it is to be read and understood...

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    No, we are resurrected prior to the the Millennial Kingdom on the 1st earth and will be priests. Our royal priesthood will be fully realized in the Millennial kingdom. Blessed and holy are those who have a part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be...

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    The kingdom of God which we now possess is spiritual. Jesus' resurrected body is a spiritual body, but like the angels, can appear physically - as He will appear. Maybe you didn't learn the Prophetic lesson in the Lord's Prayer? " ...Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in...

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    Did you test your symbolism with the angel's literal statement about Jesus returning in like manner as you saw him leave? (Acts 1 :9-11) You did not attempt to. Go ahead and try to present a symbolic interpretation of those verses. Finding scriptures that support the doctrine is crucial.The...

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    Certainly God gives us bits and pieces as He grows our faith and so some have strong faith and knowledge and others weak. But the Eschatology problems aren't yet solved. When every eye sees Him, they will be.

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    I just don't see how the Spirit of Truth would guide both of us in opposite directions. I believe Cathilocs and Protestans are saved, yet hold different views. Even within the Protestant camp, when we talk prophecy, it goes off in many directions. It is quite baffling. I used to listen to RC...

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    Even if you enlarged those words further, Amillennialists just won't get it. I think they are spiritually blind. It just conflicts with their view, so they either say it happened or offer some esoteric symbolic explanation.

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    Wow, there you go again with your symbolic mumbo-jumbo. In Acts 1:9-11 the two angels state specifically that His return will be in the same manner as His exit. Capesce?

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    Didn't say it was. I asked you if you had the Holy Spirit. In order to discern scripture, you must commune with the Spirit. Are you born again? To be on the safe side, you must be born again. Your posts lack this discernment wherever I read your posts -- your off and miss the mark.

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    The scripture is not. You don't have any imagination? Do you have the Holy Spirit? If you don't, ask for Him to help you discern scripture. Of course they were ignorant to the world. But you seem to think the Word was contrived by man. The whole Bible is inspired by God, God breathed...

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    Why is this a difficult concept for you? Between TV, computers,.our phones which almost all people own and the ones who don't will get to one to see this event. It will be the #1 news report and so every eye will see Him. He will appear in Jerusalem in like manner as scripture says in Acts...

    Christians who hate Israel

    He mentioned that there were 30k Messianic Jews in Israel, but worldwide there are 1.5 million. Likely the 144k figure in Rev. 7 & 14 will come from these Messianic Jews who are already sealed. Why? They already know Christ and will be evangelists during the Great Tribulation to witness to the...

    If you refuse to judge, then God won't judge on your behalf either.

    Slander is the act of making a false, spoken/written statement that harms a person's reputation. What I surmise is that your whole theme is a attack against the Jews - si it is not a false accusation. If I knew it was false and a lie and did it, it would be slander Are you slandering the Jews...
